Mumbai: Former Indian Premier League Chairman Lalit Modi has called out reports claiming that he could be a participant in the upcoming season of reality show ‘Bigg Boss.’
Bigg Boss 20 is scheduled to premiere on September 6 on JioHotstar and Colors.
I have NOT been approached for Bigg Boss 20. I am NOT participating in Bigg Boss 20. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 20 is set to be hosted by Bollywood actor Salman Khan.
Calling the reports “fake news”, Lalit Modi said he has not been approached for the show and has no intention to participate in it. In a post on X, he also said that his lawyers have issued a notice. Amazing how a completely fabricated story can become “news” without anyone bothering to ask the person concerned. Perhaps next time, verify before you publish,” he said. The notice sent on Lalit Modi’s behalf said the reports are “baseless and mischievous” “Our Client hereby clarifies that the said reports are false, baseless and mischievous. Our Client has not been approached by the producers, broadcasters, channel or any representative of the said Programme; no person has been authorised to represent our Client or to hold out on his behalf in respect thereof; and our Client has not consented to, and has no intention of, participating in or being associated with the said Programme in any manner whatsoever,” it stated.
“FAKE NEWS. PERIOD. And I have NO intention of doing so. My lawyers have issued the attached notice. The show’s first trailer recently gave viewers a glimpse of a new twist with contestants getting an extra ‘jeevan daan’ or lifeline.
